Aerial view of Love Bank Park in St. Louis, MO, showing the overall layout with a person walking through.

A collaborative community effort transformed a vacant lot on Cherokee Street into Love Bank Park, a vibrant public space designed by Patterhn Ives and Arbolope Studio. The layout incorporates geometric hardscape elements, inspired by Venn diagrams, symbolizing the intersection of diverse community groups. Additional features include a basketball court with water-permeable pavement, and a central plaza with a shade pavilion, seating areas, and chess tables. The park also integrates sustainable elements, including rain gardens.
